> They need to talk about how the pr itself should change.

When PRs are spammed, it's impractical to discuss each submitted change. The existence of the PRs interferes with the ability of maintainers to continue making directed changes.

> We should be using ai to chunk changes into reviewable bytes and to align on semantics and contracts.

That statement is a convoluted version of the narcissist's entitlement. ie "other people should realize my vision".



The increased review burden is also happening inside companies. It’s genuinely hard to keep up with the volume. I was a little surprised to see my comment downvoted. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be able to delete slop PRs. Of course we should! I’m saying that the pr should change at least _somewhat_ in response to how much programming is changing.

Also worth stating that I have been ranting about contract first reviews for 10 years and it’s not just in response to llm written code.
